Pictures from "Pam's Fall Meet " At Jim Schlick's. We had a fantastic day, beautiful sunshine. Lots of car's to look at, very well attended, just a great get-together. I left for my return trip back to Richmond, VA. I made the 700 mile trip in 11 hour's in my 84 604 GTD, (No Ticket's) ran great, no issues at all, Got 31 mpg, Not bad for cruising 70-75 mph,traffic was not bad at all and the weather was great. Jim now has a total of 17 Peugeot's !! His latest addition , the 403 wagon looks like it just came out of a show room, Just a real beauty.

1 The flyer that Jim prepared announcing this year's Fall Car & Motorcycle Meet in memory of his late wife Pam. Pam introduced Jim to Peugeots shortly after they were married in 1971 and, as they say, "...the rest is history!"
2 Friends and family gathered at the Le Petit Cafe on Friday night. Patrick and Marina, the owners, are the only other known Peugeot owners in Bloomington, Indiana
3 Jim's 'new-to-him' 1960 403 station wagon, which was purchased by absentee bid in the Auctions America California auction in July 2015.
4 Another view of the 403 station wagon
5 It looks like Jim's brother-in-law Herb is ready to go for a drive
6 The rear door is huge. This view shows the space available in the rear. The back seat folds down to provide additional space.

10 At least we know that the little tractor can turn corners
11 Jim's 2000 406 coupe flanked by the 1960 403 station wagon. Quite a contrast of Peugeot designs over the years, don't you think?
12 From left to right: Jim's 2000 406 coupe, 2001 206 XR, and 1988 205 GTI
13 The Peugeots were rearranged for added parking space. From left to right: 2000 406 coupe, 2001 206 XR, 1988 205 GTI, and 1968 204 cabriolet

26 Herb, ready for a drive on the beautiful Monroe County back roads
27 I forgot to take a picture of my 84 604 GTD. This picture was taken at a earlier meet at Jim's. This car made the 1500 mile round trip from Richmond, VA to Bloomington, IN with no issues at all, again this year.
28 Jim's four 405s, from left to right: 1991 405Mi16 sedan, 1990 405S station wagon, 1992 405GL station wagon, and 1991 405S sedan. The '92 GL wagon and '91 S sedan are Jim's 'daily drivers'
29 Some of the car meet/cruise-in participants enjoying the beautiful weather
30 Jim installed four car lifts in March 2015 to add some needed storage space. His 1979 504 diesel sedan and 1958 403 cabriolet are shown on the left
31 The 'dueling banjo' skeletons found a place to sit on the (full-size) Allis Chalmers WD. They played whenever someone got too close to them... until we 'pulled the plug' to keep them quiet for a while!!
32 Brian and Malory checking out the 1950 Allis Chalmers WD, as the 1966 404 cabriolet injection sits on the top level
33 These Peugeots and the Allis Chalmers stayed inside for the day
34 A view from the house showing some of the participating vehicles and people. The weather was beautiful all day!
35 A closer view from the house. Two of the three motorcycles in attendance are seen here: a 2007 Honda 919 on the left and a 2015 Harley-Davidson Tri-Glide 'trike' on the right.
36 Tucker and his 1962 MGA Deluxe
37 Fred and his 1938 Morgan three-wheeler
38 The Morgan's engine uncovered and in full view
39 A rear-view of the Morgan
40 The Morgan drew quite a bit of attention, which is not too surprising!
41 A view from the rear of Gary's 2004 Toyota MR2, Joe's 1953 Henry-J, and Scott & Kristen's 2004 BMW 325ci. There was plenty of time throughout the day to look at the vehicles
42 Jim taking a break, with his trusty walker not far away. He'll eventually get back to riding the '94 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King in the background
43 Tucker and Jim taking a break. Jim is undoubtedly trying to explain (unsuccessfully, not doubt!) why he owns French Peugeots instead of British MGs.
44 Some of the out-of-town family and friends, from left: Becky, Susan, Ellen, Jeff, and Herb. Becky and Herb came from Marshalltown, IA; Susan (with husband Haroon) from Troy, MI; and Ellen and Jeff from the Philadelphia area
45 More out-of-town family, from left: Haroon, Brian and Malory, and Paul and Judy. Haroon drove from Troy, MI; Brian and Malory from Iowa City, IA; and Paul and Judy from Maple Grove, MN.
46 A new addition to the Peugeot wall hangings. This one came from one of Jim's Peugeot-enthusiast friends in the Philadelphia area
47 A closer view showing the Peugeot emblems. This wall hanging started its life as a throw rug
48 The 1958 403 cabriolet in 'mid-flight' on it's way to the top row
49 Toward the end of the day the Peugeot's were back in their designated parking spaces for the winter
50 And more precision parking at the end of the day. Jim was considering a second row of car lifts... but decided that it would be like trying to solve Rubik's Cube to get any give Peugeot in or out of storage!
51 Herb had a great time driving the Peugeots as they were put back into the Peugeot Polebarn
52 The goulish motorcycle gang made a return visit this year to help everyone get into the Halloween Spirit!
53 Michael rode his 'barn-find' Ducati again this year. Michael and Brian must be discussing the finer points of the Ducati's design
54 A closer view of the 'dueling banjo' skeletons and the Allis Chalmers WDs. Pretty scary, aren't they?!? (We mean the skeletons, not the tractors!)
55 Steffen taking a well-deserved break. Steffen has attended every one of the Fall Car Meets since Pam and Jim started hosting them ~15 years ago in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.
56 Gary, Steffen, and Ken in the midst of an (apparently) intense discussion
57 Sometimes you just 'gotta take a load off' and enjoy the beautiful day!!
58 At the end of the day Jim's Peugeots, Allis Chalmers, and Harley-Davidson were tucked away in the Peugeot Polebarn.
